KR £450 – 9A £750.All our engines require a Core in exchange. This must be a serviceable unit, and replicate what you are receiving, but in a used format. Generally, these cores are returned to us upon receipt of your new engine as you can take advantage of the Pallet frame used to send your new engine. The costs of its return are your responsibility. These are deducted from the Core surcharge refund if you would like us to organise its return. It must be drained of Oil. If you would like to send us a core earlier, that is fine. For international buyers, it is generally un-economical for you to send us a Core. The advice is to pay the surcharge, and sell your old unit in your home country.Upon receipt of an acceptable core, your surcharge will be refunded. If components are damaged, or aftermarket, used OEM items will be sourced, and the costs deducted accordingly.

No. But, you’ve come this far… Assemblies are balanced within 0.01g. Factory engine tolerances are always out, so it can be improved upon.
